APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • The JAVAIOP method call interface code generated by cjbuild
    contains a reference to the fully qualified package name of the
    method to be called, which may not fit on a single line,
    thus requiring continuation. A space was incorrectly left in
    column 72, and became part of the value literal, causing it to
    exceed the length of the definition.
    

Local fix

  • Manually fix and recompile the generated code.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: Users of Enterprise COBOL 6.4 compiling      *
    *                 COBOL programs that use non-OO COBOL/Java    *
    *                 interoperability features.                   *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Compiler error produced when running    *
    *                      the cjbuild utility indicating that a   *
    *                      literal in an interoperability 'stub'   *
    *                      program generated by the compiler is    *
    *                      too long.                               *

    *                                                              *
    *                      IGYGR1056-E "VALUE" literal             *
    *                      ""com/yyyyyyy/zzz/aaaaa/bbbbbbbbbbb ""  *
    *                      exceeded the length specified in the    *
    *                      "PICTURE" definition.  The literal was  *
    *                      truncated to the "PICTURE" definition   *
    *                      length.                                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the IBM-provided PTF                   *
    ****************************************************************
    Occasionally, a literal followed by other characters in a
    compiler-generated stub program might end on exactly column 72.
    In such cases, the compiler was splitting the literal
    unnecessarily across lines, causing an extra space to be added
    to the literal.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The compiler was updated to ensure that literals are not
    unnecessarily split across lines in compiler-generated stub
    programs.
